Wish that Machamp had the Special Attack to properly use its dazzling No Guard Focus Blast? Wondering why 71/37/37 stone wall Pheromosa gets Roost? Desperate for Merciless to find a home on a more glitzy attacker than Toxapex? You've found the right place, up-and-comer!
Who are we transforming?
In each slate, groups of 3 Pokemon sharing similar proportions of their base stats in Strong Attack, Weak Attack, Speed, and Combined Bulk (HP+Def+SpD) will get their own fresh takes! Rampardos and Xurkitree could be on a slate together, even though one is physical and one is special, since Strong Attack doesn't care whether the highest Attack stat is special or physical. Drifblim's stats seem all over the place, but it could be with Kingdra, since Combined Bulk existing means its four stats proportionate to BST are very balanced.

The goal of this Mod is to bring exciting diversity to established good Pokemon and new life to those who...aren't, in the frame of standard level play. Ideally, these Pokemon should be somewhere from viable-good-great-amazing in OU but not broken enough for Ubers. Be careful who you give Spore and Shell Smash to, yadda yadda. Also, unless said otherwise, a Pokemon's maximum stat total is 570 even if their normal total is higher.
Transformation Station!
Once the submissions slate is opened, you will see three Pokemon and a set of "takes", different combinations of ways you can change a slate Pokemon. You can use each take for as many slate Pokemon as you want, and don't have to reserve one Pokemon for each take. However, you can only make one submission per Pokemon. Follow the rules on the takes you choose, darling, and you'll be good to go!
Voting
At the end of a submission slate, we'll all vote on which Pokemon we want to see as our new stars! Remember that, hotshot: we vote for Pokemon, not takes, which will then take up residence in this star-studded (to be) Hall of Winners below. You can vote for yourself, just not first for any Pokemon. You don't have to have submitted to vote, but obviously please don't vote for your friend because they told you to.

If you have any questions this doesn't answer, ask it right here in this very thread, or PM me on Smogon or PS and i'll probably add the answer to this section. To answer one possible Q, there isn't a council yet so it can be all me, me, ME gentlemen! Ahem... I meant so this mod can get a footing first.
What are you all waiting around for? Me to put up a submissions slate? I'm not having any of this... Lights, Camera, Transformation Action!

Custom moves are a no. Custom abilities are okay so long as they reasonably correspond to the allowed limit and to an existing ability/mechanic.
These takes are supposed to be reasonably plausible, so no moves (or abilities) ridiculously against flavor. If you want to give Articuno Thunderbolt and Intimidate fine, but no to Spectral Thief and Flash Fire. More generally, don't give Pokemon moves (or abilities unless you have a really really good reason) restricted to legendaries/mythicals/weird things like Ditto.
